symptoms

[bubbles4920]

i got back from cancun mexico on saturday. yesterday i felt weird with a headache, as though i was spaced out and had a slight sniffle. today i feel the same, feel exhausted, have a high temperature off and on and a bit of pain in my back on the right too. ive looked up the symptoms for swine flu and am scared that i have it though i dont seem to have a cough or all the symptoms and my hubby seems well enough. im scared to contact the doctor in case they put me into quarantine, whatever that entails. do you think i will be ok if i just let it pass and stay in bed for a few days. im taking ibuprofen which i think will stave off the temperature.

thank you to all that were so concerned about me, as you could tell i was so scared, and yes sometimes fear does overtake common sense and consequences. as i didnt feel much better this morning i went to see the doctor and he said it was viral. i still feel spaced out and get head aches. so relieved that im not contagious, would hate to be treated like a leper but would be for my own good i know. the doc said several people had been to see him concerned about symptoms, as you can imagine, even some that had been to mexico too, he said he hadnt come across anyone with it. maybe it is all hype though looks like enough have it in the world how it has spread. i can thank my lucky stars thank goodness.
